| Define 'tourism'. Is 'global tourism' a form of consumerism that we in so called developed countries take as our right or does it make a valuable contribution to local economies? Discuss! Getting to Callanish is not easy and I guess coach parties do turn up to spoil the atmosphere at certain times of the day in summer months. They should not to be sneered at though - that was the way I travelled to Orkney and Shetland three years ago - two days travelling to the north of Scotland and two nights on a ferry. Finally reaching the Ring of Brodgar after several tiring days travelling on a coach brought on something akin euphoria. Getting to Callanish without a car would no doubt involve a similar journey - one I hope to make. I liked this paragraph from the STP which *could be adapted*, by those who are physically fit, and applied to visiting ancient sites in the British Isles. Reduce Your (Carbon) Footprint Walking, biking, and trekking or exploring one place in-depth is a good way to reduce your carbon footprint. At urban destinations, walk or take public transit whenever possible. You’ll see more and avoid getting stuck in rush-hour traffic!
